A food container includes a main plastic body terminating in an upper rim having a ledge portion, a resealable cap configured to seal against the ledge portion when snap-connected to the upper rim and an externally visible tamper indicator integrated into the container body below the upper rim. The cap includes an opening tab which, upon initially opening the container, is lifted to break one or more frangible connections with the tamper indicator. When the food container cap is presented for sale, the tamper indicator is clearly visible to a consumer. When the cap is completely removed, the tamper indicator radially projects from the container body. The cap can be used to selectively reseal the main body upon seating the seal portion on the ledge portion and snap-connecting the cap to the upper rim.
